Thank you both. Using axis I have gotten exactly what I needed.
Thanks,
Mitch

Oops. That was backwards
plot(scale~time,axes=F)
axis(2,at=0:4,labels=c("Never", "Once per month", "A few times per month",
"A few times per week","Everyday"))
axis(1)

More specifically
time=rnorm(20)+10
scale=rep(0:4,4)
plot(time~scale,axes=F)
axis(1,at=0:4,labels=c("Never", "Once per month", "A few times per
month", "A few times per week","Everyday"))
axis(2)

You can use axis() to draw custom axes of many sorts. The examples under ?axis demonstrate how to not draw the default axes and how to make custom ones. Sarah On Wed, Oct 27, 2010 at 10:40 AM, Downey, Patrick <PDowney at urban.org>

Hello, I have am plotting a 0-4 ordinal scale (y-axis) against time (x-axis). Is there a way to label the values on the y-axis with the translation from the scale? That is, instead of having 0,1,2,3,4 on the y-axis, I would like "Never", "Once per month", "A few times per month", "A few times per week", "Everyday." Thanks, Mitch
